The donkey's dick on my new north rebel is just not stiff enough. I love everything else about this kite, but I have found myself unexpectedly unhooked a few times.

Any suggestions for how I can stiffen it up a bit?

Steve, can you please enlighten me on this core finger fix? Im interested as had a few issues myself.



Sure its an easy fix and in reality is not necessary to go to a kiteshop to fix it, its just that I would do it for free with tubing and glue that I have here already.

Take your bar and lines to Bunnings or an Industrial supplies outlet like Blackwoods or maybe Repco?
They should have high pressure plastic air line tubing, you will find a size that fits neatly over the core chicken thing and then just glue it on with silicone or hot melt glue. Make the new bit about 3-4cm longer and the problem will be solved.

The latest Core ESP bars do not have the problem, we got onto this early last year and all the bars supplied since have had the chicken bing/wing/thing cut a bit longer.

... happened to me right in the middle of Hells Gates in Gerro, f#ckn thing let go in front of a woppa, thought I was a gone-a as the wave rushed over the kite and rolled it. But lucky for me I relaunched and all was good, but the unexpected thing****** off'd on me. It happened to me, it happened to my missus, and just the other day, it happened to my son, and it happened to my mates!!!!!!! W T F!!!

anyway, off topic a bit but it was a problem and we don't rely on the donkey dick anymore now!!!


cheers,

Robbie!!!!!

a donkey dick is the most unecessary and dangerous things on a bar - take it off completely - you be much better off once you get used to it

The most dangerous thing on a kite bar is usually the idiot hanging on to it[}:)]
